I have a friend that put them in two race cars and drove thousands of HARD miles in them, and said they were very comfortable. '53 Stude in the 2,000 mile La Carrera Panamericana road race (which is brutal Mexican roads), and a '65 Mustang for the Targa Newfoundland.
I have a pair for my '57 Gasser, but don't have any seat time in them yet.

These Rugged Ridge low back buckets, also from Summit, are $148, and look a little more factory.

I'll be getting one or the other, and using an LMC center console with cup holders. Not the really expensive repro console with chrome trim, the plain one.

Low back buckets with a plain black console will look right in my factory K10.

I like both of the seats you posted. I seen a 65' C10 with seat just like the second set and he mounted a impala ss console with the impala shifter in between them. I need seating for three though that's why I kept my stock bench..
